I am a software developer and researcher with a Masters in Computer Science (AI Track) from Binghamton University. My expertise include autonomous navigation systems in drones, computer vision, and machine learning.

My current research involves optimizing edge-based SLAM techniques and tailoring them for deployment on small drones with limited compute power.

Cosine-Beta Schedule for Denoising Diffusion Models

Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) are quickly taking over the world, especially since Dall-E 2 and Midjounery came out. It is quite interesting how powerful they are considering they are based on Markov Chains which were introduced all the way back in 1906. Diffusion models are based on a forward process and a backward process. In the forward process, noise is added to the dataset in incremental steps through a Gaussian distribution....
